But it's playing the exact same image, how is it distracting? And the battery life issue has nothing to do with comfort.

By leaving it plugged in the screen gets brighter, not to mention I don't have an outlet near enough to make it comfortable. And it doesn't matter what's on the screen, something happening at the edge of your eyesight is distracting. I feel like they should have supported the Wii U Pro or Classic controllers, not sure why they didn't.

People who arent the audience really shouldnt be asking questions for unnecessary answers, the sadist in me will only seek to confuse you ever more so.

If you think thats being a jerk then may this world have mercy upon your soul, you wont function well in the work place. I am simply pointing out the duplicitous things that people do that I find annoying to fortuna who is too preoccupied with stating the obvious. Besides I would prefer that people cease with asking aimless questions . If you dont care then there isnt a need to talk in the first place, unless you want your asinine behavior pointed out. Let me give you a tip blazeboy, giving people you're opinion and advice when they dont ask for it only begets the possibility of you pushing their buttons and engaging you with antagonistic intentions. Its simple you dont like what they are people are doing, ignore it, and let others make their own judgements, no one really is concerned with you're input in the end, after all you seemingly have a clear dissonance with the meaning behind the word jerk than I do. You may have a point(you still seemingly have a few misconceptions of your own you need to sort out) but Im not too concerned with what you see as pathetic behavior. If your going to communicate with someone the you best make sure you both are on the same page about what things mean.

It's cute how you claim to not care, but you then post a big rant. Also, FYI, those who try very hard to come across as intelligent (usually by being verbose) seldom live up to the impression. Now please, continue with your derisive stares.

I am halfway through Soda Jungle (having just found the secret exit), so I am not quite up to the end of the game. Please tell me none of the levels are as evil as that god-damned Piranha Plant level from Star Road in NSMB Wii. Ugh, so much fire melting my ice, I hated it.

I have to admit though, I am fairly ambivalent. I hated that level, but would love to see something as nasty in this game.

Its laughable to consider that a rant, that is a simple explanation for people to live and let be and get out of their heads for once. It's annoying. Especially to hear people tout their own perception as its fact. But the fact that you choose to harp on the fact about whether I care or not simply means you missed the point completely and its not worth the time. Now if you please drop the subject, keep your psycho-babble and the rest of whatever spewing rabble you come up with to yourself, its not worth getting a furrow in my brow. I'd rather not getting into fruitless discussion with you about intellect,

Also I didnt ask for your opinion so dont FYI me. Further proof that you dont pay attention.

Main game none are. Post-game one of the three I've done so far falls into that level. Of BS, even more so if you try to get all the Star Coins.

I have created a new word for the internet LOLE it means laugh out loud evily, if you think it is a good word copy and paste this into your sig. and use it.

and didnt your mother tell you that sticking your nose into other peoples bouts is contemptibly rude?

You're in a public discussion forum. There is no "other peoples bouts" [sic]. If you want a conversation private, take it private, as no doubt all onlookers would appreciate you doing because this is just laughably awful.

It's not even close, no, but that's okay because this isn't 1993 where one system would be "16-bit" and another would be "32-bit" and the latter would be "twice as powerful". Where a system's components rate relative to those of another system is only half the story these days.

Point is, there are detailed reports as to how the system's guts compare to those of its current competition, easily found if you so desire (hint: the quick-and-dirty calculations say they're about equal, give or take), but the raw numbers only tell you so much.

Its called being facetious. Or would you prefer broader theatrics laced with thinly veiled snark? It's a stronger machine. I considered that but it has much more flare here don't you think? The conversation is done as far as I am concerned

The fact that you cant even realize that such a statement is completely devoid of any and all seriousness is ludicrous.

The only thing equal about any of that is the CPU clock speed, and that is faster than everything else and the RAM is slower Everything else is newer hardware.... Honestly if your going to pride yourself on being the serious one at least get your facts straight before you start misinforming people. Pay strict attention to how you present information to these witless blokes.

And telling them to go look up the raw numbers is a bad idea, given the vast amount of misinformation. I dont think she feels like watching a tear down either. Its an EDRAM and GPUGGPU intensive machine

Just tried going into the Nintendo eShop, and needed to download an update. Seems they put it out yesterday, and it will improve system stability. It also will take a long time to download.

Did I ask for your advice? No I didn.t So you can take your rude farce behind back to Calico, I can smell the bullcrap from miles away, it swirls around you like a tempest. Now shut up and drop it.

It's a good thing I didn't offer any advice. Seriously though, stop with the pretentious pseudo-intellect. It impresses nobody.

Also, please learn the difference between your and you're.

Forgive me for being dim - I'm not at home and probably won't be able to do any updates until tomorrow. Is this update meant to reduce all load times, or just those within the eShop? I must say, it takes an awfully long time to load a game.

Nothing I read specified, but I'm assuming it's exclusively system load times. Since eShop load times are really all your internet connection.

Of course. I was just wondering how it compared. Thanks

Flare? Insulting other people is fun for you, just because you can't present a good argument or give good facts?
